Ezekiel 12.17 - end

Eternal One:18 Son of man, tremble as you eat your meals. Shake with anxiousness as you drink your water. 19 Tell
the people of the land what the Eternal Lord says regarding the people
living in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They will eat their meals in
fear and drink their water with anxiety, for their land will be pillaged
of everything in it because of their own violent acts. 20 Every inhabited town and city will be destroyed, and the land will be deserted. Then you will know I am the Eternal One.

21 The word of the Eternal came to me with another message.

Eternal One:22 Son
of man, what is this saying the people keep repeating in the land of
Israel: “The days pass by, and the prophecies never come true”? 23 Tell the people of Israel
the Eternal Lord says that this saying will not be quoted for long. I
am going to make sure it is never said again in Israel. The time is near
when every prophecy will be fulfilled. 24 There won’t be any more false visions or favorable predictions in Israel. 25 I,
the Eternal One, will speak, and what I speak will be fulfilled without
delay. You rebellious crowd! I will fulfill whatever I say during your
lifetime.

So said the Eternal Lord.

26 The word of the Eternal came to me.

Eternal One:27 Son
of man, the people of Israel are saying, “The visions of the prophet
are for the distant future; He speaks of events a long way off.” 28 Therefore,
tell the people of Israel the Eternal Lord most certainly says that
nothing I’ve predicted will wait any longer. Whatever I speak will be
fulfilled without delay.
